The real issue I had with this is that you can't control the camera (or if you can, you certainly can't do it with the mouse). It would be a tonne easier to play if you can move the camera with the mouse so you can direct Sonic in the way it's facing (like GDK/Freerunner). Also, the stage is too bland. It's clearly a corridor with half the textures missing (or if they're not missing, those white ramps look very silly). Also not keen on the random transition from grass to sand/stone. You should work on giving the player a wide, open space to explore with different land-masses to explore. Take a look at Robo Blast 2 for influence on how to make an interesting 3D stage to explore.

Auburn Autumn?

Give Tsunami 2010 a go. It's an awesome Tempest clone that's only 96kb in size: http://ainc.de/Games.htm

I'm going for 2D version of Rusty Ruin.

Oh wow! It totally sucks!

Best line!

I'm a stupid cat:

Bloody hell man. This looks incredible! You've got such a unique look going on with this game. The gradient effects bothered me at first, but they're really growing on my after seeing that. Well done man!

I'll try and not have a site meltdown this year. My previous host caught a fucking trojan during the event last year so my coverage ending up being a little thin.

Plugged the event over at SEGADriven: http://sega.sonicstadium.org/2011/08/26/sonic-amateur-games-expo-returns-september-18th/ I will also be covering the event on the site like I've done for the past 2 years by trying to review everything on show. Love SAGE and will do everything in my power to support it.

I'm interested to find out how the bosses will work with the new widescreen resolution. Surely they'd be framed wrong (ie the first boss moves between a fixed location which would a hell of a lot wider in this version thus making him easier to hit from behind).

But what about RAGE!?

Nice positive attitude there Blazefire. Games drop from SAGE every year, get over it. These are fan projects after all.

Yeah, you're just splitting hairs now Blazefire. There is nothing about the title "Sonic Advance Worlds" that suggests all its' graphics come from Sonic Advance 1. I'm positive the title refers to the Advance series in general. Also, is it possible to complete that demo or is it supposed to be a simple play area with no goal?

I work for Coke so to say anything else would be blasphemous.

Saw it at the fucking cinema. Proper blown away. For a film where the plot boils down to 'I want to be the very best', it's a bloody masterpiece.

Cool to see you back man. Not a lot to comment on at the moment. Not massively keen on darkening the background. Looks a bit odd.

Happy Birthday Slingerface! Not that you'll see any of this, but our intentions are great!

Happy Birthday LH! You're a legend!

I know they're shit, but I have been blasting the new Limp Bizkit every day since release. It's like, they're so bad they're good.

Quick question UC/Brushfire/Blazefire; why do you keep changing your username so often!? It's bloody confusing! Also, isn't Blazefire a trolly trollman that keeps trying to register here regardless of the fact that he's been banned on multiple occasions? @LH I really love the look of this! I'd love to see how the background looks in motion.

I actually wouldn't change that at all. Very pretty.

This is a cracking little game. Simplistic but solid. I hope you don't mind Darkleo, but I featured this at www.segadriven.com
